Half a Century of Dramatherapy – JHB

An Intensive Training with Paula Kingwill and Lesley Palmer

21 CEU’s (including 2 ethics points)

Lesley and Paula are both celebrating 25 years of working as dramatherapists in South Africa by offering a dramatherapy intensive training.

The training will include references to their foundational training (the 5 phase model and Sesame model respectively), as well as approaches such as psychodrama, playtherapy, playback theatre, family constellations therapy and ecotherapy.

They will share what they have learned applying these techniques with a vast range of client populations in the South African context. The training will include embodied, experiential learning, theoretical understanding and peer supervision.

We will offer the 3 day training at three different venues – Cape Town, Johannesburg and the Karoo.
The first two trainings will be open to all health care practitioners, but training in the Karoo will only be open to dramatherapists.

Getting to The Rest
We are half way between Cape Town and Johannesberg (about 8 hours in either direction) half an hour off the N9 highway. We are an hour from Graaff-Reinet and 25 minutes from Nieu Bethesda.

To Drive: Email us for directions and check on the current state of the road and how your car will fare on the dirt roads.

Carpool to workshops: Join the event on the Facebook page and see who is keen to carpool. Email us to put you in touch with other drivers coming from your area.

Bus: Both Intercape and Translux stop in Graaff-Reinet. We will arrange to pick you up from the bus station and bring you to the farm directly or via a guest house (buses usually arrive at awkward times in the late or early hours.)
